[quote=Anonymous]I'm a lapsed Catholic and not really a "God has a plan person." That being said, when I hear it,  I take it to mean that the situations presented to us help shape who we are and even so-called tragedies can present either opportunities for growth or opportunities to make a contribution. I think about people who have lost children and are able to start charities to find cures for diseases or stop pedophiles or comfort those who experienced similar tragedy.

I see it more as everyone has something to offer regardless of what life hands you. You will have a certain strength and perspective that others don't.

There's also other ways of looking at your situation. Though you may not be able to physically have another child, you could adopt.

How we cope with life's difficulties is an important part of it. I found helping those less fortunate and traveling abroad - particularly to Africa - have helped me escape my past bouts of despair. People there have unimaginable hardship and yet get through the day with a smile.

Coping with ADHD is not easy. You should take care of yourself first so that you can take care of others. Get any help you can within your means. And are you certain about your infertility? I had my first child slightly before 43. Before that I truly thought it wasn't in the cards.

Another good coping strategy is to see what's good and what works in your life.

Does God have a plan? I don't know. But I do think life is a gift. [/quote]
